A key part of the CP definition is that it's a non-progressive brain injury. However, as people with CP age, their function often deteriorates. This study seeks to determine whether changes in the brain structure may result in function changes, as they do in other types of brain injuries.

This registry contains information collected from children and adults with CP. The goal of the registry is to help us learn more about CP and neuromuscular diseases, to understand the quality of life…
This study is for patients with Glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a study drug called Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) compared to treatment with eye drug Timolol. The Bimatoprost SR is an implant that is very small, is biodegradable (dissolves naturally in the body), and contains the bimatoprost drug.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The most important test to detect progression is visual field testing. However, this test is very subjective, often unreliable, and variable. One of the main causes of unreliable tests is the lack of attentiveness or concentration during the test. Previous studies have shown that listening…
Glaucoma is a given name of a group of diseases that affect the retinal ganglion cells in the eye and the optic nerve. Glaucoma cause degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells in the retina and their projections (axons) that form the optic nerve. Retinal ganglion cells and their axons transmit all of our vision information from the eye to the brain through…
The purpose of this study is to investigate how well weekly injections of the growth hormone drug NNC0195-0092 works in adults with growth hormone deficiency. Growth hormone deficiency is a disorder that involves the pituitary gland (a small gland located at the base of the brain). The gland produces growth hormone and other hormones (chemical messengers of…
